In the late 1970's an Esquire article described Silber as brilliant, arrogant and independence. He was portrayed as a powerful intellectual force. In his classes he would subject students to withering responses to their foolish questions.

At the time he had been teaching in Texas and had just moved to Boston. But the article described a very powerful figure dominating the landscape around him.

He hasn't changed in 25 years.
